I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, and thought I had it bad. Well, 1 1/2 weeks ago, I woke up in agony, my neck, shoulder blade, shoulder and elbow were killing me. In addition, later in the day my left index finger went numb, and it has stayed that way ever since.
Two trips to the ER showed my neck is as mass of osteoarthritis. My massage therapist thinks it is the car accident I had last Feb. And it probably is. I am in such pain I can hardly sleep or function. Plus, I am working on a PhD in practical theology, and I may have to drop out, as typing is killing me.
Plus, my liver enzymes went sky high again, even though I had held the methotrexate. So, I have to stay off of mthx, which is so important in controlling the bad flares.
Please pray that God's will be done, and hopefully some kind of relief for the pain.
